Thumbs down Strange Villages Street

Does anyone know of a street in the Villages that eventually crosses thru itself ???
Answer: Near the Hacienda Golf Course ( Palms 9) there is a street that the engineers designed to purposedly confuse drivers. Augustine Dr. journeys in a large loop and crosses thru itself for a short distance. I wonder why the engineers designed sugh a thing when it would have been so easy to add a different street name for that portion that crossed thru Augustine Dr..

Trust me. Augustine Dr. is a street where one can easily become lost.

Wow, that is an interesting street.....and I imagine it can be quite confusing, but if you start at the beginning, you have a nice long walk, a LONG walk...

There's a street in St. James that crosses itself. Yankee Clipper, I believe.

Villages seems to like to have streets cross over themselves -- seems like there's one about every third village. And then there's the street name change for no fathomable reason (think O'Dell, Bailey). Someone seemed to have a lot of fun designing the streets and their names (like Bassinger and Baldwin intersection).

it's really hard to give visitors directions when you live on the corner of Augustine Dr. and Augustine Dr.

There is also a house on the corner of Dipper Loop and Dipper Loop. But isn't that the definition of a loop?

There are a bunch of streets like that. Pennecamp Dr. comes to mind - it loops around at its northern end.
